Barbara, thank you. This is very interesting. I've read the comments below the article and two stood up because of their excellent response to the article.

While the science behind the fact has probably not been quite so clearly laid out before, the knowledge that soup makes one feel full for longer (than an equivalent solid meal consumed with water) is not new.. It is, however, always interesting to learn of such scientific studies as the weight-conscious amongst us continue to wade through the ever changing (and often contradictory) expert advice on the matter.

A lot of people who overeat do not do so because they are hungry but for other reasons. A person can feel full to the point of sickness but will still eat more. However, if you're going to overeat, then low calorie foods are better, such as soup. But that still does not address the core issue which is the need to eat in the first place. Jacquie, Yorkshire
